The family of late Dr. Tunde Aladesanmi, one of the medical doctors who lost their lives in a ghastly motor accident along Kaduna road while on a national assignment wishes to alert the Inspector-General of the police, Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, the Ekiti state government, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), the public including the international community of an iminent death/ assasination threat to the family of the deceased.
A letter was sent to the family by unknown persons threatening assasination attempt and giving the family a one-day ultimatum to pack their loads and leave the house.
It is pertinent to note that while the deceased was alive, he had a cordial relationship with everyone. Quite a lot of people including his co-workers and professional colleaques can attest to the fact he lived a selfless life, served humanity devotedly; did everything within his power and according to the ethics of his profession to save a lot of lives even at odd times.
It is highly bizarre and unexpected that the family of such a gentle and peace-loving man would receive such threat.
The family is concerned about its safety and wants to remind the Federal Government, Ekiti State government as well as other other relevant security agencies of their obligations to protect the Nigerian citizens.
The family also urges the Inspector-General of Police, Ekiti State Comissioner of Police, Ekiti State government and other relevant security agencies to swing into action; ensure that thorough and impartial investigations are carried without fear of reprisal attack.
